The Jam! Happy 65th Birthday, Larry Graham
65 years ago today, Larry Graham, Jr. was born in Beaumont, Texas. From Sly & the Family Stone to Graham Central Station, and a whole lot of other projects, he’s credited with the invention of slap bass.
Or as Larry calls it, “Thumpin’ and Pluckin’.”
Larry is still bringing it… Here’s a clip of Graham Central Station performing “The Jam” just last month.
Ashling rippin it upon vox! Slammin!
No one will ever be like him, his vocals and dance moves are killer, and his bass skills also amazing. (obviously)
Happy birthday
A Living Legend…Larry Graham!! Happy Birthday to YOU!!! Love the Hat!!!
Pure awesomeness.
